The purpose of this assignment is to see the range of incentives for giving
and how those incentives manifest. 

Find the essay using the library resources and analyze it.  In your post (350-600 words) you should do the following.

List the full citation.
Describe the goal of the research design. What did the author set out to test?
Describe the methods. Was it a survey, descriptive work, lab or field study?
Describe the results. What was significant?  Were there secondary results?  Were these also discussed in the literature review by Bekkers and Wiepking?
Did Bekkers and Wiepking leave out any important points from the text?

(I study nonprofit management as an international student from China.
I choose the
Immigration and citizenship status topic in Bekkers, R. and Wiepking, P. (2007)(1). Generosity and Philanthropy, A Literature Review,.pdf ,

make sure you take a look at the PDF doc first and search the text below:
Immigration and citizenship status
Osili and Du (2005) found that immigrants in the United States are less likely to give
to charitable organizations and also give less, but that these differences are due to differences
in racial background, lower levels of income, and education. Wong, Lien and Conway (2005)
find that immigrants (especially foreign-born non US citizens) are less likely to donate money
to political parties than US born citizens. Frey and Meier (2004a; 2005) find that immigrant
students are less likely to donate to social funds of their university than native students.
Individuals born in a non-English speaking country give less often and lower amounts in
Australia (Lyons & Nivison-Smith 2006). Mean amounts donated by foreign born and
Canadian born citizens do not seem to differ (Mata & McRae 2000) though contributions
increase with the number of years residing in the country. Osili and Du (2005) find that the
gap between immigrants and native citizens closes as time spent in the US increases. They
also find that immigrants spend more on informal donations to family members often in
their country of origin (remittances) than native Americans. While informal donations
among native Americans also exceed formal donations (Schervish & Havens 2002), this gap
appears to be wider among immigrants. Brown and Ferris (2007) find that US citizens give
more to religion than immigrants, controlling for memberships and trust.

the article I choose is Osili and Du (2005) which I have upload -Immigrant assimilation and charitable giving

Writing 122

February 17, 2020 5 Comments Humanities, MLA

Develop a paragraph (minimum 250 words) that either summarizes and analyzes a particular space on your college campus OR summarizes and analyzes the  campus as an inclusive or non-inclusive space. Use Wallace Stegners The Sense of Place or Brent Staples Night Walker to either set up your summary and analysis OR to support it. What conclusion do you come to about one of these questions: Is the UO campus a place? Is the UO an inclusive campus? To help you develop your paragraph:

If you choose a space on the campus to summarize and analyze, then think about a space that is significant to you. You might choose a particular building, a specific area in a building, a lab, your favorite study carrel in the library, a lovely spot outdoors, a residence hall, the rec center, the track. ( for me it would be the knight library which is a 4 story library directly on campus)  Keep in mind that it doesnt have to be a physical space: perhaps a significant space is a virtual or digital space. In that case, youd also want to consider if a virtual space can be a place.
If you summarize and analyze the inclusivity of the campus, then, like Staples, you want to consider it within the physical (or virtual) space of the campus. You might also think about a particular space on campus and whether, like Staples, its a space where you feel safe and like you belong. Staples inquires into race and place, but you might consider other factors like gender and sexuality or the intersections of these. But you are thinking about how a particular body moves through a physical or virtual space.
Give detail in your summary of the space. Help your reader to feel like they are there.
Dont just nod to Stegner or Staples. Integrate the text specifically and meaningfully into your analysis by either using a specific point to set up your paragraph or to support your analysis. Introduce the author and essay fully.

Deceptive arguments

February 17, 2020 3 Comments APA, English and Literature

Apply what you have learned about logical fallacies and rhetorical appeals to interpret and summarize the articles. Consider the following questions:

If the participants are aware of misleading manipulation techniques, are they immune to their effects?
What are the limitations of these types of fear inducing tactics?
How would you react if you were a subject in one of these studies?
What can we take away from these articles to apply in our own topics?
Where else have you seen these types of fear tactics applied (e.g., advertising, social media, word of mouth, etc.)? Are these other mediums effective? Why is that the case?
